My name is Gill Matthews and I am a professional Hypnotherapist, Life Coach and Stress Management Consultant. I practice in Barton on Sea, New Milton, between Southampton and Lymington in Hampshire and Bournemouth and Christchurch in Dorset. I offer Coaching sessions face-to-face or online via Skype or Facetime.

I am a Senior Practitioner and Peer Supervisor with the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and have been in full-time practice for 31 years. It is now scientifically recognised that stress is the pre-cursor to the malaise of humanity, my expertise lies in all stress related issues known to man, woman and child!

There is significant scientific evidence suggesting that the mind has a direct effect on the body ... both for better and worse. Research demonstrates that we can cause our bodies to be sick just by the anticipation of a future event or the memory of a past experience.

In both cases, it is our thoughts that are creating powerful chemicals of stress to alter most of the systems in our body. So what we think about and the intensity of these thoughts directly influences our health, the choices we make, and our quality of life.

I am an Educational Performance Practioner, therefore I can help with study, concentration, confidence, exam performance and educational stress in adults and children.

As a qualified Fertile Body Method Therapist I use hypnosis with the mind-body approach for all fertility issues, IVF and hypnobirthing. I trained with Dr. Brian Roet (former GP and Anaesthetist) in Pain Relief and Stress Management.

I am a Registered Hypnotherapy professional with the CNHC (an Accredited Register approved by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care) and a recognised PruHealth Practitioner.

Manifest your best life and live in abundance.

Is self-sabotage holding you back from creating the life you really want?

Are you standing in your own way?

Learn how to manifest the best life for you and live in abundance.

Everything shows up in your life when you learn to accept yourself and know you deserve all you desire.

Know how to recognise the self-sabotage that causes you to reject what you really want in your life and put up with less than you deserve.

It is easy when you know what is blocking you.

How good can you stand your life being? Miracles do happen when you allow them.

Start by deciding which areas of your life could be better and email me to find out how to make miracles happen in your life.

So whether it is your relationships, finances, work, health or any other area of your life, email me.

I offer a 30 minute free consultation which gives you an opportunity to understand your problem at a deeper level. This is also available over the telephone or Skype if that is more convenient for you.

In my work I use the many approaches I have learned during my years in practice to help you find solutions to issues and problems you may be experiencing, to educate and empower you to grow, flourish and reach your full potential. There is rarely a single way of treating a problem, even if it comes with a nice clear label. I will work with you to achieve your aims and your goals. You will always be treated as the totally unique person you are because you perceive life your own way!

The other aspect of sessions with me is that I will listen. How often do you get the undivided attention of another person with the time to explore exactly who you are, without judgement? Evolve into your best you, find the awesome person you really are.

'We not only can't separate the mind from the body, but we can't change one without changing the other. Our perspectives on life can have a huge impact on our emotional and physical health. Sometimes a slight shift in thinking can make a huge difference.

John Gray, Ph.D (Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice)

If there is any area of your life that you would like to 'shift' pick up the phone or email me ... the treatments I can offer are an effective way of helping you to make lasting, beneficial changes!

Symptoms are nature's warning lights and nature has an unlimited supply of replacement bulbs.

If we seem to be failing to get what we want out of life or are finding it difficult to relate to other people, there are two fairly obvious choices open to us. We can wait for the world and other people to change or we can learn how to change ourselves.

The fact is that most of us have a sphere of identity that we have been conditioned by fear and ignorance to fail to explore, a veritable treasure house of self-understanding and health intelligence that is part of our birth right, just waiting to be claimed.

It is never too late to claim it.

The first moment I met Gill I knew I'd come to the right place, she is extremely warm and welcoming which put me at ease straight away.

I had a difficult childhood which Gill helped me unravel and connect to my inner child thus answering many questions as to why some of my adult behaviours were the way they are today. Gill guided me through hypnosis, which for some may sound daunting but let me assure you Gill is first class at putting you at ease, is very professional and gently lets you make your own way, at a pace that is structured and tailored to you.

Gill also provided coaching over the time we worked together, which was also incredibly helpful. I am still in touch with Gill and will continue to see her from time to time, even if things are going extremely well, just to check in and enjoy her company. One thing is for sure you never leave her without something new to ponder and grow !

Speaking from a personal perspective, Gill goes above and beyond with a genuine care, empathy and wholehearted aim to help people along their journey. I wouldn't be where I am today without the work we did together last year and the roads of opportunity she led me to.

JP - New Milton

"Gill helped to see me through my pregnancy, labour and beyond. I was told by doctors that I was both a high risk pregnancy (likely to have a premature baby and very quick labour)and also high risk for the labour itself. Thanks to Gill's help my little girl managed to stay where she was comfortable right up until her due date and I had a comfortable 6 hour labour, using pain relief techniques learnt with Gill. I found giving birth a liberating experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gill to any pregnant woman, even if they already feel happy and confident about the birthing process. Many thanks Gill, I will be back with bump number two one day!"

This poem is about finding yourself again after a relationship breakup, but when I read it now it also really resonates with me in relation to the process Gill is guiding me through, finding the connection with my inner child and generally being true to myself where I was perhaps more concerned with conforming to life's expectations of me before."

The time will comewhen, with elation, you will greet yourself arrivingat your own door, in your own mirror,and each will smile at the others' welcome

and say, sit here. Eat.You will love again the stranger who was yourself.Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignoredfor another, who knows you by heart.Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,peel your own image from the mirror.Sit. Feast on your life.

Derek Walcott

"I brought my seven year old daughter along to see Gill primarily because of her deep fear of the sea and generally low sense of self esteem. Following our session, my daughter immediately showed signs of improved mental strength and her self esteem grew enormously. She now tackles new things with vigour and is more likely to take chances without fear of failure. She finds great happiness in playing in the sea and has brushed off her previous fears. She regularly uses the techniques shown to her by Gill to help manage her emotions and feels in control and empowered. We can't believe what a difference an hour has made to her life and her future."
